Dear Ms. Ganley,

I am not sure why citizens cannot find out from the OCME if fatality inquiries are to be done on citizens who have died. I see no privacy problems with release of this information since you are just telling us if you are doing the inquiries or not.

But the OCME office won't tell me and I have to request fatality inquiries for these dead citizens because of this lack of transparency.

If you don't mind me saying this is carrying privacy requirements too far.

We already know these folks are dead. We are just asking what the GOA is doing about their deaths in terms of avoiding future deaths caused by failures of the GOA to provide mental health services in a timely manner or even at all.

I would respectfully suggest that the GOA open the doors of government and let the public in because we aren't waiting to be let in any longer.

We want information. This information is not top secret. You should provide this information so we aren't doing extra work for no reason.

I write to the Justice Minister about the dumb lack of respect for citizens so that we can't even find out if fatality inquiries are going to be done or not: Dear Ms. Ganley,

I am not sure why citizens cannot find out from the OCME if fatality inquiries are to be done on citizens who have died. I see no privacy problems with release of this information since you are just telling us if you are doing the inquiries or not.

But the OCME office won't tell me and I have to request fatality inquiries for these dead citizens because of this lack of transparency.

If you don't mind me saying this is carrying privacy requirements too far.

We already know these folks are dead. We are just asking what the GOA is doing about their deaths in terms of avoiding future deaths caused by failures of the GOA to provide mental health services in a timely manner or even at all.

I would respectfully suggest that the GOA open the doors of government and let the public in because we aren't waiting to be let in any longer.

We want information. This information is not top secret. You should provide this information so we aren't doing extra work for no reason.

Never Again

Donna StievaterWell, a previous generation of young Americans (mine) helped to end the war in Vietnam. This generation’s youth just might succeed in getting assault rifles out of the hands of civilians!

How is one reborn after a fall? by Muriel Barbery

14. From Passageway to Pathway

What is this war we are waging, when defeat is so certain? Day after day, already wearied by the constant onslaught, we face our terror of the everyday, the endless passageway that, in the end--because we have spent so much time walking to and fro between its walls---will become a destiny. Yes, my angel, that is our everyday existence:dreary, empty, and mired deep in troubles. The pathways of hell are hardy foreign; we shall end up there one day if we tarry too long. From passageway to pathway; it is an easy fall, without shock or surprises. Every day we are reacquainted with the sadness of the passageway and step by step we clear the path towards our mournful doom.Did he see the pathways? How is one reborn after a fall? What new pupils restore sight to scorched eyes? Where does war begin, where does combat end?
